Displaying Error Stacks in a Graphical User Interface (gui) to Track Error Propagation Across Microservices-Based Applications

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the root cause error span is associated with a top-most stack in the error stack, and wherein each stack in the error stack comprises summary information associated with a corresponding span.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the mapping comprises mapping each span in the chain to a span error frame to create the error stack, wherein the error stack comprises an ordered list of span error frames corresponding to the chain of spans.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the mapping comprises mapping each span in the chain to a span error frame to create the error stack, wherein the error stack comprises an ordered list of span error frames corresponding to the chain of spans, wherein each span error frame in the error stack comprises summary information associated with a respective span, and wherein the summary information comprises: a name of a microservice initiating a call that resulted in the respective span; and an error status code associated with the respective span.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the mapping comprises mapping each span in the chain to a span error frame to create the error stack, wherein the error stack comprises an ordered list of span error frames corresponding to the chain of spans, wherein each span error frame in the error stack comprises summary information associated with a respective span, and wherein the summary information comprises one or more fields selected from a group including: a name of a microservice initiating a call that resulted in the respective span; an error status code associated with the respective span; a name of an operation within the microservice initiating the call that resulted in the respective span; a flag identifying a respective error span as an error span; and a flag identifying the respective error span as the root cause error span.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein a bottom-most frame in the error stack is associated with a last span in the chain of spans that is an error span.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein a bottom-most frame in the error stack is associated with a root span of the trace.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the root cause error span is associated with a top-most stack in the error stack, and wherein each stack in the error stack comprises summary information associated with a corresponding span.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein a bottom-most frame in the error stack is associated with a last span in the chain of spans that is an error span.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein the root cause error span is associated with a top-most stack in the error stack, and wherein each stack in the error stack comprises summary information associated with a corresponding span.
